Hello everyone,

I just wanted to say I have received the latest issue of Cryonics magazine and
the CEO report really caught my attention.  Alcor CEO/President Joseph Waynick
outlined his ambitious goals for 2005 which included obtaining a new transport
vehicle, a new patient care bay, a perfusion enclosure for whole-body
vitrification, a second operating room, increased membership growth powered by a
newly hired public relations firm, and finally a comprehensive member standby
program!  I am quite impressed and truly hope he can accomplish all of these goals.

But I am troubled because I know lofty goals have been set before by Alcor
leaders and not been achieved for various reasons.  And so I ask the list members
what they think we can do to support President Waynick in his efforts to get
these things actually done before the year is out.  What can we do?

Sometimes it seems to me that Alcor presidents are somewhat like ancient
Mycenaean kings who reigned for only a short predetermined time and/or until
things went bad and they were made to take the blame by taking a fatal blow to
the head.  I want to see Joseph Waynick avoid this fate and instead have a
proudly remembered tenure when he looks back at having been at Alcor's helm.

-New Transport Vehicle
-New Patient Care Bay
-Whole-Body Vitrification Perfusion Enclosure
-Operating Room Expansion
-Comprehensive Member Standby
-Membership Growth          

Excellent Goals.  I hope we can all help and not hinder President Waynick in
seeing them accomplished.

Sincerely,

John Grigg
